Congrats Junior, that is cool. You're doing what I wanted to do all those
decades ago when I was part of my city's police cadet program.

2012 Liberty Cty FL PR FINAL
Cassidian Communications Recognizes Liberty County, Fla., 9-1-1 Center
Dispatcher Junior Lolly with Dispatcher of the Month Award .
Visually-impaired call taker is an industry leader with more than 30 years
on-the-job . Lolly assisted in the testing of the latest version of the
Sentinel Patriot 3.2 call processing solution TEMECULA, Calif., April 30,
2012-Cassidian Communications, an EADS North America company, is pleased to
recognize Junior Lolly from Liberty County, Fla., 9-1-1 Communications
Center, as the Cassidian Communications Dispatcher of the Month. 
"One of the reasons Liberty County 9-1-1 is unique is the fact that its lead
call taker has been on the job since 1980 and has been blind since the age
of 12. Today, Lolly processes more than 300 emergency and administrative
calls a day, which is more than three times the amount he processed in his
earlier days at the center." said Brandon Hoquist, product line manager,
Cassidian Communications. 
As technology advances entered the 9-1-1 center, Lolly's job became more
complicated as additional programs and monitors were introduced. Today,
Lolly uses new technology designed to assist the visually impaired. 
"He never sends a responder to the wrong place and can tell someone where to
turn by landmarks," said Stephen Ford, 9-1-1 coordinator, Liberty County
9-1-1 Communications Center.
"He has only asked me
where an address is located three or four times since I have worked with
him. He does a better job than any sighted call takers I know." 
A renowned professional, Lolly says that no single call stands out among the
thousands he has taken- from natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes
and lightening storms, to emergencies related to house fires, grave injuries
and serious accidents. 
"I'm not in this for the money," Lolly states. "This is not a job where you
get rich. I do it to help people and to be there for the community. It's a
calling. It's a desire I was born with." 
The Liberty County 9-1-1 Center recently completed testing of the latest
version of the SentinelR PatriotR call processing solution, release 3.2.
Built to support up to 100 call taking positions, the Sentinel Patriot
3.2 solution is designed to handle up to two million calls per year, is
fault tolerant with no single point of failure and delivers scalable,
redundant, remote survivable systems with ultra-high reliability. This
feature rich solution provides call centers such as Liberty County with a
clear path to next generation 9-1-1 (NG9-
1-1) services as they become available industry-wide. 
Hoquist continued, "Cassidian Communications recognizes usability as one of
the utmost needs for accurate and efficient operations in the call center
and is a key differentiator when comparing our products to those of other
solution providers." 
Liberty County 9-1-1 has been a Cassidian Communications customer since 2005
and currently is operating the latest Sentinel Patriot solution on its three
call taking positions. The 9-1-1 center is Page 2 of 2 responsible for
taking emergency and administrative calls for services from the
approximately 8,000 county residents. The center also is responsible for
dispatching calls for all law enforcement, emergency medical services and
fire response for the county. 
The Sentinel Patriot solution supports single- and multiple-site 9-1-1
centers as well as geographically diverse, centralized and hosted solutions.

management suite designed to handle all calls seamlessly from a single
